Santa Monica special education lawyer Allison Arkin is a passionate advocate for special needs children and their families throughout the Los Angeles area. Allison has dedicated her entire career to helping parents with special needs kids to achieve the best possible educational services for their children. Educating a child with special needs can be overwhelming.
Parents not only have to deal with their child's unique challenges and the impact of those needs on the family and home, but they are also expected to become experts in special education law. Too often, school districts take advantage of these stressed and overwhelmed parents. They offer the bare minimum of services they know they are legally required to provide-and sometimes less.
Allison was smart, skilled, and great to work with, and she proved to be the perfect advocate for my daughter. Parents who are already exhausted from the demands of a special needs child often feel they have no option but to accept whatever services the local school district offers.

Although I myself am a lawyer, I realized I needed a specialist to represent me at my daughter's IEP because the school district was threatening to withdraw her services.
Allison was recommended to me and I realized I knew her from private practice years ago.
